Poseidon

Poseidon (/pəˈsaɪdən, pɒ-, poʊ-/;Greek: Ποσειδῶν, pronounced[pose͜edɔ́͜ɔn]) was one of the twelve Olympian deities of the pantheon in Greek mythology. His main domain was the ocean, and he is called the "God of the Sea". Additionally, he is referred to as "Earth-Shaker" due to his role in causing earthquakes, and has been called the "tamer of horses". He is usually depicted as an older male with curly hair and beard.

The name of the sea-god Nethuns in Etruscan was adopted in Latin for Neptune in Roman mythology; both were sea gods analogous to Poseidon. Linear B tablets show that Poseidon was venerated at Pylos and Thebes in pre-Olympian Bronze Age Greece as a chief deity, but he was integrated into the Olympian gods as the brother of Zeus and Hades. According to some folklore, he was saved by his mother Rhea, who concealed him among a flock of lambs and pretended to have given birth to a colt, which was devoured by Cronos.

There is a Homeric hymn to Poseidon, who was the protector of many Hellenic cities, although he lost the contest for Athens to Athena. According to the references from Plato in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias, the island of Atlantis was the chosen domain of Poseidon.

Descriptions

The original novel

In the 1969 novel, the steamdriven ship is traveling across the Atlantic on a month-long tour of African and South American ports, after its conversion from an ocean liner into a cruise ship. On December 26, the ship capsizes when a landslide on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge produces a huge tsunami. The description of the ship is slim, but in his novel, Gallico described it as a quadruple-screw ocean liner of 81,000 tons, as long as four city blocks, and as high as an apartment building. He also wrote that it had three "massive" funnels. But he also described it as having a fatal flaw: it "was riding high in the water, improperly ballasted and technically unseaworthy." This, he wrote, made it vulnerable to capsizing by tsunamis.

Later that year they released the follow-up, "Wicked Love", which reached number 25 in the UK singles chart. In 1992 the act released their first and only album, entitled That Compact Disc By Oceanic, (also, That Cassette/LP By Oceanic for the audio cassette/LP versions respectively) which featured two different versions of "Insanity", and reached a chart position of number 49 before dropping out of the UK Albums Chart after only 2 weeks. A third single, "Controlling Me", made number 14 in the UK chart. Their final song to appear on the charts was "Ignorance" (with Siobhan Maher), which was on the UK chart at number 72 for one week in November 1992.

Oceanic Worldwide

Oceanic is a company which currently designs and manufactures sport-type scuba gear. It was founded by Bob Hollis in 1972 and is based in San Leandro, California, United States.

History

In 1972 Robert Hollis founded the parent company American Underwater Products (AUP). AUP now trades as Oceanic, Aeris, OceanPro, Lavacore, and Hollis, though in 2014 the Aeris line was absorbed by Oceanic. The company is now based in San Leandro, California with a worldwide distribution network.

The company started out with a dozen diving products, including the Anchor Shack’s photo line. After four years, Hollis acquired Farallon, a manufacturer in nearby Belmont. That acquisition gave Oceanic a full line of diving equipment, with a line of instrumentation products.

Products

Rebreathers

They developed the Phibian CCS50 and CCS100 rebreathers; Stuart Clough of Undersea Technologies developed the Phibian's electronics package. With its purpose-built training facility, Oceanic UK working closely with American Divers International, developed and delivered by both Stuart Clough and Paul Morrall training and familiarisation courses.
